FAQS

Handmade Loose Incense – FAQs

About Our Loose Incense

1. What makes Herbs on the Hill loose incense special?

Our handmade loose incense is blended in the traditional style, using the purest natural resins, wildcrafted herbs, and therapeutic-grade essential oils. Each blend is carefully crafted using time-honored recipes that have been used for centuries in meditation, cleansing, relaxation, and spiritual practice.

2. Is your loose incense 100% natural?

Yes! We use only pure plant-based ingredients—no synthetic fragrances, fillers, or chemical additives. Every blend contains carefully sourced resins, herbs, and essential oils for an authentic, high-quality experience.

3. How is loose incense different from incense sticks or cones?

Loose incense is in its raw form—natural resins, herbs, and oils—and needs to be burned on a charcoal disc or heated in an incense burner. Unlike sticks or cones, it offers a more potent, customizable aromatic experience.

How to Use Loose Incense

4. How do I burn loose incense?

Choose a heatproof burner – Use a ceramic, metal, or stone dish, ideally filled with sand.

Light a charcoal disc – Hold it with tongs and light one edge. Let it turn grey (about 1-2 minutes).

Add incense – Sprinkle a small amount onto the hot charcoal.

Enjoy the aroma – The fragrant smoke will fill your space. Add more incense as needed, but don’t overload the charcoal.

5. Can I use an electric incense burner instead of charcoal?

Yes! Electric burners allow the incense to slowly release its scent without smoke, making them a great alternative if you prefer a cleaner burn.

Storage & Longevity

6. How should I store my loose incense?

Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. This helps preserve the essential oils and resins for a long-lasting aroma.

7. Does loose incense expire?

Natural resins don’t "expire," but the fragrance of essential oils may fade over time. If stored properly, your incense will stay potent and fresh for 1-2 years.

Safe Burning Practices

8. Is loose incense safe to burn indoors?

Yes, but always:

✅ Use in a well-ventilated area.

✅ Keep away from flammable materials (curtains, paper, etc.).

✅ Never leave burning incense unattended.

✅ Use a heatproof burner to protect surfaces.

9. Does incense smoke have any health effects?

Our incense is 100% natural, but like all smoke, it’s best to burn in a well-ventilated space if you have respiratory sensitivities.

Customization & Spiritual Use

10. Can I mix different incense blends together?

Absolutely! You can blend different resins, herbs, and oils to create a custom aroma that suits your mood or intention.

11. What are the spiritual benefits of loose incense?

Different ingredients are traditionally used for:

🌿 Frankincense & Myrrh – Purification, meditation, and grounding.

💫 Lavender & Sage – Calming, relaxation, and energy cleansing.

🔥 Dragon’s Blood – Protection, empowerment, and focus.

🌹 Sandalwood & Rose – Love, self-care, and emotional balance.

12. Can I use loose incense for cleansing my space?

Yes! Many of our blends include resins and herbs known for their cleansing and purifying properties, used for centuries in rituals, energy work, and sacred spaces.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

13. My charcoal won’t stay lit—what can I do?

Make sure the charcoal is fully ignited before adding incense.

Use fresh charcoal—old or damp discs won’t burn properly.

Store charcoal in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption.

14. My incense is smoking too much—how do I fix it?

Use less resin per burn—a small amount goes a long way!

Allow charcoal to settle before adding incense (if it’s too hot, it may burn too quickly).

15. My resin melts but doesn’t produce much smoke. Why?

Some resins melt before releasing smoke. Try adding wood chips or herbs to improve diffusion.

Ordering & Shipping

16. How is Herbs on the Hill loose incense packaged?

Our incense comes in eco-friendly, resealable pouches to preserve freshness while being kind to the planet.

17. Do you offer international shipping?

Yes! We ship worldwide. Shipping rates and times vary based on location. See our Shipping Policy for details.

✅ Essential Oils Considered SAFER for Pregnancy (With Proper Dilution)

These oils are generally considered gentler when used correctly, but they should always be diluted and used in moderation.

Floral & Gentle Oils (Best for Relaxation & Stress Relief):

  • Chamomile (Roman) – Calming and soothing.
  • Lavender – Helps with relaxation and sleep.
  • Neroli – Gently uplifting and balancing.
  • Rose Otto – Nurturing and emotionally comforting (use sparingly).

Woody & Earthy Oils (Best for Grounding & Stability):

  • Sandalwood – Comforting and grounding.

(Even “safer” oils should be used in very low concentrations during pregnancy.)

How to Use Essential Oils Safely During Pregnancy

💧 Dilution is Key – Use a maximum of 1% dilution (1 drop per 10ml carrier oil). Essential oils should never be applied undiluted to the skin.

🌿 Avoid Ingestion – Essential oils should not be taken internally during pregnancy.

🌸 Use in Moderation – Stick to occasional use, such as diffusing for 20–30 minutes at a time.

🛁 For a Relaxing Bath:

  • Mix 2–3 drops of a safe essential oil with a tablespoon of carrier oil before adding to warm bathwater.
  • Avoid adding oils directly to the water, as they can irritate the skin.

💆 For Massage & Skincare:

  • Use a safe essential oil in a low dilution (1 drop per 10ml carrier oil) for a gentle pregnancy massage.

🏡 For Diffusing & Home Use:

  • Add 3–5 drops to a diffuser to create a calming atmosphere.
  • Open windows occasionally to ensure fresh air circulation.

(Always perform a patch test before using a new oil, as pregnancy can heighten skin sensitivity.)

Final Note

While some essential oils can offer wonderful comfort and relaxation during pregnancy, they should always be used cautiously, sparingly, and under expert guidance. If in doubt, consult a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare provider.

From Petal to Bottle – The Journey of Floral Essential Oils

1️⃣ Cultivating Nature’s Finest Blooms 🌿🌸

The journey begins in fields, gardens, and meadows around the world, where flowers are carefully cultivated to ensure they reach their peak of fragrance and potency.

🌷 Rose Otto – Handpicked in the cool hours before sunrise when its scent is most concentrated.
🌿 Lavender – Grown under the warmth of the Mediterranean sun for a rich, herbaceous aroma.
🌼 Chamomile – Tiny golden blossoms, each bursting with sweet, calming essence.
🍊 Neroli & Petitgrain – Extracted from the delicate blossoms and leaves of the bitter orange tree.

These flowers are harvested with precision, often by hand, to preserve their fragile petals and ensure the highest quality oil.

2️⃣ The Art of Extraction – Capturing the Soul of the Flower 🌬✨

Once harvested, the flowers undergo a gentle and precise extraction process to ensure their fragrance remains as pure, fresh, and authentic as when they were first picked.

💨 Steam Distillation (for Lavender, Chamomile, Geranium, Neroli)

  • Flowers are gently heated with steam, releasing their aromatic compounds.
  • The steam carries these fragrant molecules into a cooling chamber, where they condense back into pure essential oil and floral water (hydrosol).

💎 Solvent Extraction & Enfleurage (for delicate flowers like Rose Otto, Jasmine, and Ylang Ylang)

  • Some floral oils are too fragile for steam distillation. Instead, traditional techniques like solvent extraction or cold enfleurage are used.
  • Enfleurage is an ancient process where petals are carefully layered onto natural fats to absorb their fragrance over time.
  • The result? One of the purest and most luxurious floral extracts imaginable.

Each method ensures the oil retains its natural complexity, capturing the soft, velvety, and deeply aromatic essence of the flower.

3️⃣ The Power of Floral Essential Oils – More Than Just a Scent 🌸💛

Floral essential oils are more than just beautiful aromas—they hold the very essence of the plant’s vitality, resilience, and emotional depth.

🌸 Balancing & Uplifting – Neroli, Geranium, and Petitgrain bring a sense of harmony and emotional renewal.
🌿 Soothing & Comforting – Lavender and Chamomile gently calm the senses and ease tension.
🌷 Luxurious & Romantic – Rose Otto and Ylang Ylang are known for their deeply indulgent and heartwarming properties.

Each bottle contains thousands of flower petals, carefully distilled into a few potent drops of botanical magic.

4️⃣ From Nature to You – The Herbs on the Hill Difference 🌿🌸

Handpicked & Small-Batch – Our oils are produced in limited quantities to ensure freshness.
100% Pure & Undiluted – No fillers, no synthetics—just the essence of the flower.
